	api_key = $env.mcp_api_key
} as $tool_list
Example: 
ai.external.mcp.tool.list {
	mcp_url = "https://my-mcp-server.com"
	api_key = $env.my_mcp_key
} as $tools

​

	api_key = $env.mcp_api_key
	tool_name = "tool-lookup-user"
	input = {
		user_id: $input.user_id
	}
} as $tool_result
Example: 
ai.external.mcp.tool.run {
	mcp_url = "https://my-mcp-server.com"
